It can be a dog-eat-dog world out there, but not when you're as handsome
and as smart as Michael Howard Berkowitz. Michael is `shown here with his
10th-birthday gift, "Hushie," the hush puppy. Michael's parents are Marty and
Brenda Berkowitz of Walled Lake. Of the birthday gift, Mom explains, "I'm
deathly allergic to real dogs and cats, so
Michael settles for the stuffed version
instead." Michael's hobbies are
hockey, soccer and roller -blad-
ing. He is in fifth-grade at
Walled Lake Elementary
School, where he is the
sports editor of the school
paper; managed the
school bank and served on
the student council.
Michael's proud grandpar-
ents are Ethel and Al
Feldstein, and Louis
Gelman.
